large experience, both in England and
South Africa, first came to Clay county

He has at last been rewarded

sanguine expectations, having discovered
in the bluffs northeast Of this city fine
specimens of bituminous coal. He says
the samples exhibited by him are Of the
finest quality Of coal and that the vein
will average thirty-two inches In depth.
He also seems satisfied that natural gas
exists In or near Henrietta. He asserts
that the coal found by him is in inexhaus-
nble quantities. A stock company will

FOREIGN LANGUAGES.

The St. Louis Aazeiqer deS WestenS,
one Of the leading German papers of the
west, upon the subject Of teaching Ian
guages in the public schools says: SIT
is Impossible that more than one Ian
guage can be thoroughly taught in the
public schools. Parents who out of af-
lection or to i'm prove the prospects OF
their children wish to instruct them In q
second language, must for that purpose
choose the path of private instruction.
By no means, however, should they per-
NIT this private instruction to interfere
with the teaching Of the principal Ian
guage."
Considering that this is the opinion of
q German paper it may be counted strong
testimony against the teaching of Ger
man or any other foreign Language in the
public schools. Any attempt to teach
any language, in addition to English in
the district schools is departure from
the primary character of those schools.
The district schools should be adapted to
give no instruction beyond the rudiments
of what is commonly called an English
education. II they be confined to this
and il within these limits they are thor
ough, they will fully serve their purpose.
At the same time, however, 1t would be
proper in the high schools to go beyond
the limits of the "rudiments of an English
education" There it would be proper to
conform to some such standard as that Of
the gymnasia of Germany. This would
put the high schools upon the level OF
many colleges, both Of this country and OF
England. Above the high schools would
then naturally come the university, which
should be universal in the scope OF its in
struction.
But while, in our judgment, it is true
that the teaching of foreign languages
should be excluded from the district
schools, too much weight cannot be given
the consideration that 1t is of great adj
vantage to possess knowledge of more
than one language. One great source OF
an educated Germans sdeptability for
residence in foreign country Ia his
knowledge of more than one language. 1t
is no uncommon thing to see German
who speaks four languages. This is OF
enormous advantage to him in trade, and
elso in governmental relations with coun.
tries not using his language. 1t Is the
destiny of only few persons to become
connected with diplomatic or consular
eeIvice, but very great many may in
beth foreign and domestic trade find the
ability to speak more than one language
6 great aid to them.
For these and other reasons the study
of foreign languages should be eDcour-
aged. But they should be taught at pri-
vate and not at public expense, except In
'fsa far as the teaching of them might be
conAned to public schools of the higher
graas.
